Whole Wheat Vegan Strawberry Muffins
The Breakfast King strikes again!
These healthy whole wheat strawberry muffins were gobbled up quickly because they were freaking amazing. The perfect thing to nosh on while sipping coffee and watching Novak and Andy blast yellow bullets at one another in the men’s final of the French Open. Did you see it? Wow! Good stuff.
Strawberries are taking center stage in my kitchen this month because they’re in season and I’m in love with them. They’re so juicy and sweet right now and I can’t get enough. You probably already figured that out because I posted this strawberry recipe last week.
Sunday morning breakfasts are almost always made by my husband, aka the Breakfast King. He loves to cook as much as I do, and Sunday morning is his day in the kitchen.
Okay, strawberry muffins. You. Need. To. Make. These.
They’re made with whole wheat flour and it gives them a beautiful texture and a nice nutty flavor that compliments the sweet strawberries. It’s also the perfect flour for baking if you’re using fresh fruit because the water in the fruit doesn’t break it down and cause the muffins to be mushy in the middle.
Here's a tip for better consistency of your muffins: Let them cool upside down on a wire rack so any extra moisture in the muffin moves back toward the top. Bye-bye soggy bottoms.
Okay, let’s make these pretty pillows of vegan goodness.
How to Make Vegan Whole Wheat Strawberry Muffins in Six Easy Steps
- Dice the strawberries.
- Whisk the wet ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
- Whisk the dry ingredients together in a medium bowl.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet, then fold in the strawberries and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Scoop the batter into the wells of the muffin pan
.
- Bake until golden brown.
.Now they’re ready to eat, and trust me, you won’t be able to eat just one.

This looks soooo good and I have all the ingredients 🙂 One question: can I do away with the oil and replace with apple sauce/banana or is that a bad idea? I'm trying to go in the direction of more plant-based as my vegan lifestyle sometimes isn't so healthy 🙂 Dr Greger says we don't need any oil apart from what we get from whole foods so I'm trying that route but of course it's hard. I'm making these little beauties no matter what, oil or not!!
Linda Meyer says
Hi Trish! Thank you so much. 🙂 You can leave the oil out (no substitutions necessary) but the texture won't be the same. The oil makes the crust of the muffin a little crisp and the center moist. It's really a matter of preference. I totally hear what you're saying about added oil, and I really don't use much in my recipes as I try to eat as healthy as possible. This is my husband's recipe and he is a firm believer in putting a small amount of oil in his muffins and waffles, it's all a matter of preference. Let me know what you think!
Strength and Sunshine says
I'm in need of some muffin baking this week! I have it all planned out, I have strawberries, but I also have blueberries....decisions 😉
Linda Meyer says
Strawberry/Blueberry muffins. Why not? 😉
Christine @ Run Plant Based says
This looks wonderful, thanks! I adore strawberries and usually add them to smoothies lately, but should mix it up with this recipe.
Linda Meyer says
Thank you, Christine! It'a a great on the go breakfast.
Natalie says
I have been strawberry-ing it up over here, they are so good and on sale right now! But I have not put any in muffins yet. These fluffy berry-laced beauties look so very scrumptious, I would have one for breakfast or dessert (or both!) I have to try that upside down trick, I've never seen that before. Plus I'm sure it would confuse a lot of people "Why are the muffins upside down?" which perhaps would discourage them from stealing my muffins haha 😀
Linda Meyer says
Hahaha! I don't think your upside down muffins would discourage anyone from eating them. 🙂 I'm tempted to go off of my blog schedule and post a traditional strawberry shortcake recipe this week, but I think that might be overkill. Thanks, Natalie!
Trish says
I've made them and I've eaten a few already ... sigh. I did alter the recipe a smidge because I'm trying real hard limiting oil and sugars ... double sigh. So I did away with the oil and added another banana. I also used date sugar. They looked gorgeous and they tasted oh-so-very good - just a hint of sweetness in a wholesome tasting muffin! Thank you, Linda, or should I be thanking your husband, for a tasty treat that I feel good about eating 😉 But of course the bad part is that I can't stop eating them ... triple sigh.
Linda Meyer says
LOL! At least they're somewhat healthy. Thank you so much Trish, I love your feedback. It sounds like you improved it, I'll let my husband know. 🙂
Trish says
No, no, I didn't improve it!! I just did what I had to do for me 🙂 There's nothing about yours/his that needs improving 🙂
Linda Meyer says
You're so nice, I totally meant that comment in the best way. Thank you, Trish!
Becky says
These look super delicious!
Linda Meyer says
Thank you!
Mel @ avirtualvegan.com says
I love strawberries in baked goods and what a good tip for stopping soggy bottoms. There is nothing worse than a soggy bottom!
Linda Meyer says
Lol! Isn't that the truth! Thanks, Melanie. 🙂

There's nothing like a fresh homemade muffins and by adding fresh strawberries you just made them even more delicious! What a perfect looking summer muffins.

nicoleanndawson says
We have absolutely been taking advantage of strawberry season. The hardest part is keeping them around long enough to make something because my kids eat them like candy.
Linda Meyer says
You have smart kids! I have that problem too. 🙂
Anjali @ Vegetarian Gastronomy says
Any type of berry muffin is my kids favorite! I just made blueberry last weekend and I think now it's time for strawberry. These sound wonderful!
Linda Meyer says
I haven't made blueberry muffins in a while, it's time to fix that. Thanks, Anjali!

Kelly Page (@TastingPage) says
I have been sticking strawberries into anything and everything I could find...but not muffins yet. Thanks for the inspiration. They look great!
Linda Meyer says
Thank you, Kelly! I know, I'm getting my fill of them too, I'm going to hate to see the season end.
Dixya @ Food, Pleasure, and Health says
i love the chunks here...also this will be perfect for father's day brunch!
Linda Meyer says
Yes! Perfect for a Father's Day brunch. Thanks, Dixya!
Lucie @WIN-WIN FOOD says
Ok, so how do you NOT eat the whole batch while they're still warm? They look so fluffy and the strawberry chunks are calling my name!
Linda Meyer says
Because my husband does-haha! Thanks, Lucie. 🙂

These look like the perfect summer muffins, Linda! Yummy! 🙂

Thank you, Sina!
Jeanne says
How can I make them gluten free? Has anyone ever made them gluten free?
Linda Meyer says
Hi Jeanne, we have not made these gluten-free. You could try using an all-purpose gluten-free flour, but we can't guarantee that they'll turn out.
Jeanne says
Thanks!
Linda Meyer says
You're welcome, Jeanne. 🙂
